Read "FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSIONS" in man mount.cifs
good advice - RTFM ! At least your post count went up.
For those you have similar issues you might need to use the uid and gid options
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/mydisk/tvshows /media/tvshows -o uid=pi, gid=pi
uid and gid are the user/group that require write access.
let me try to clarify - I have librelec on one Pi with a hdd attached
On a different pi I have raspbain and sonarr running (username = pi). Once sonarr has finished downloading it tries to move the show to the librelec Pi. But gets an access denied message.
I have mounted the HDD to the 'sonarr' Pi via mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/mydisk/tvshows /media/tvshows -o username=root,password=libreelec,domain=workgroup
ls -al on the sonarr pi is
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 20 17:22 'Yellowstone (2018)
I can move manually from the sonarr pi to the libreelec pi if I use sudo (on the sonarr pi)
LibreELEC itself has no 'sudo', as it has only 1 user: root.
Double-check your HDD whether it is free from any disk errors. Linux normally doesn't even auto-mount disks in such case for the disk's self-preservation. Also dismount/eject the HDD properly after checking/fixing errors in Windows (assuming the disk is NTFS-formatted).
The HDD is fine. I have to use sudo on the PI when I try write to LibreElec device
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post in. Newbie to libreelec.
I have Libreelec installed on RPi3 (192.168.0.10)with a external hard disk. On a different PI I have Sonarr installed and have mounted hard disk on Libreelec device with
Sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/mydisk/tvshows /media/tvshows
I don’t seem to have ‘normal’ write permission to /media/tvshows, I can write with sudo. What do I need to change so that Sonarr has write access?
